They also get referred to as electronic signatures. But going with the legal definition, a typed signature means an electronic process, symbol, or sound that gets associated or attached logically to a record of a contract.

One of the symbols to indicate an electronic signature is /s/, placed before the signer's name. For example, /s/ Jimmy Doe. The other symbol is the signer's name between two forward slashes, typed out, for example, as /Jimmy Doe/.

Signature validity is determined by checking the authenticity of the signature's digital ID certificate status and document integrity: Authenticity verification confirms that the signer's certificate or its parent certificates exist in the validator's list of trusted identities.

A digital signature certificate contains both a public and a private key. Once the document is signed, an encrypted (hashed) version of that document and signature is created. One copy of the document is sent to the recipient and one is kept with you. Both are locked to prevent tampering.

The certificate contains information about a user's identity (for example, their name, pin code, country, email address, the date the certificate was issued and the name of the Certifying Authority that issued it).

A certificate-based signature, like a conventional handwritten signature, identifies the person signing a document. Unlike a handwritten signature, a certificate-based signature is difficult to forge because it contains encrypted information that is unique to the signer.
